The cost is very dependent on where you live. Perhaps somewhere in the $500 - $1000 range. I caution you about moving it if the condenser is over 10 years old and/or it uses R22 refrigerant. An older system may develop a leak after the move. You may be better off replacing the condenser during the move.

But now that you’ve decided to relocate your HVAC unit – how hard will it be, can you really do it yourself, and whoever moves it, what will it cost you?

Difficulties of Relocation

One of the biggest problems with relocating your HVAC unit and moving air conditioner is that the refrigerant line must not be bent at any kind of severe angle, because that would likely create a leak in the line, so great care must be taken. Prior to relocation, all the refrigerant in the system would have to be pumped out, and then the copper lines would have to be either replaced or welded to whatever length was necessary to accommodate the new position.

The lines must then be reconnected to the unit, and the refrigerant would have to be pumped back in. Any moisture or air in the lines would have to be vacuumed out, so they don’t prevent the circulation of the refrigerant. When new lines are run, you should be very careful not to extend them beyond the unit’s capability to pump refrigerant effectively, and this means that any inclines must not be too severe.

Relocation Cost

What all of this amounts to in terms of cost, could approach $1000, so if your HVAC relocation is part of a remodeling or new addition project, make sure to budget for this extra cost of relocation.
